Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s headline new display feature confirmed by One UI 8.5 | Infinium-tech
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t have many upgrades over its predecessor, but one of the rumored features is the ability to make its screen invisible to anyone except you, the owner. And now the feature has actually been confirmed by the One UI 8.5 build the S26 Ultra will be working on when it launches.
It’s called Privacy Display and when you enable it, people around you won’t be able to see what’s on your screen. This would obviously be useful on a large scale in public settings, especially on public transit.

According to the One UI 8.5 screenshot you can see above, there will be two intensities for the privacy display – the default one, but there will also be a “Maximum Privacy Protection” setting that presumably takes things up a notch, allowing a narrower angle of viewing where the screen is actually visible.
The privacy display may also turn on automatically under certain conditions, which you’ll likely be able to set using the Modes & Routines app. So, theoretically, you could always have it on when you leave the house (or your job, or both – you get the idea). The privacy display will also have a quick settings toggle.
